MISSOULA, April i--[Special. ] Spring has come, the trees are bud ding, wild flowers are in bloom and the green grass springing up everywhere (excepting in the streets ). Plenty of snow in sight, but it is many miles off on the tall peaks of the Rockies, and serves only as a cold reminder of the past winter. Building operations are in full blast, hundreds of men and teams busy and earning good wages. A visit to Missoula at the present time, if you have no very special ties elsewhere, will cause you to settle down in this beauti ful, enterprising and growing city. Here you can make money and enjoy good healthy living at the same time. The great natural resources of Missoula county are being de veloped rapidly, and hundreds of people from all parts of the United States are immigrating to this wonderful rich country. The city of Missoula is peculiarly healthy, having the advantages of a high altitude, being 3.00ooo feet above sea level, and yet being sheltered from the cold East winds and open to the chinook winds of the Paci fic Coast, caused by the Japan Ocean current. Vegetation luxu riates in such a climate; and we have that grand combination, the bracing air of the Rockies and the comforts of an eastern locality. Where is the man, woman or child who does not long for the or chards, gardens and lawns so nu merous in the East. Missoula is noted for its many advantages, but especially for its many com fortable homes. By investing in Missoula real estate at the present time you will be sure to net a profit of at least 1oo per cent. in the next 12 months. McConnell, Cook & Co. are sole agents for much of the best property in Missoula. and of fer many bargains in all parts of the city; but we wish to especially call your attention to the new plat, McCormick's Addition No. 2, lying a half mile west of the business center of the city, which addition is commonly known as the "Garden and Orchard Addi tion" to Missoula; it receives that name from the fact that the soil is excellent and well adapted to gardening, and there are hundreds of thrifty and bearing fruit trees growing on the lots. There is a great deal of satisfaction in hav ing a home, and instead of a barren lot a well-cultivated garden with plenty of water for irrigating pur poses. Fruits, flowers and vege tables of all kinds grow readily and successfully on the lots in the McCormick's Addition No. 2, Missoula.

GRAY'S GREAT SPEECH iM UMniM lrouew Ii Favrf OIR DMeatc CfatMtLu The Delaware Senator Compliment ed by His Republican Colleagues on His SrlIilhnt Oratory-Car ter Uneasy Over Lead Ore. 1Mjialtl to the Standrd. WASHiNiTOI', April &.-If there was anything like a response to the impulse to be just on the republican side in the senate in the Montana senatorial case, Senator Gray ought to have aroused it by his review to-day of the argument for the democratic contestant. As Mr. Spooner, one of the republican members of the elections committee said, in congratulat Ing Mr. Gray at the close of his superb address, said: "It was the best speech that has been heard In the session." It was not only a good spoeeh on its merits, but it was a great oratorical effort made with dignity and grace. Senator Gray maintained with great clearness and tore the legality of the election in the much talked of precinct No. 34 of Sil ver Bow county. It followed that the members of the legislature from that county were legally elected, if the courts had held that all the other officers chosen by the same votes had been elected. The weakness and the evasions of the majority report made by Mr. Hoar were clearly indicated by Mr. Gray, and Senator George of MissLislppi by interruptions gave him a chance to more distinctly point out the evasions of the majority. He maintained also that the election of Clark and Maginnis was clearly made out without going behind the returns. It was a remarkable thing in his estimation that no one had ever yet appeared to question the legality of the election at Precinct No. M. His perora tion was impressive and strong. He ad jured the republicans not to do the wrong they had planned against Montana and become partners in the sharp practictles of ambitious partisans. It would not only be to disregard the decisions of the courts, "It would be," said he, "to draw the bar sinister acres the shield of Colonel Merrill, of Helena, the repre mentative of the mineral land asmociation, Is here to look after the interestm of his clients in the supreme court and in con gresu. He heard the arguments to-dny in the wenatorial case. Carter is In another worry. The silver men are after the ways and means coin mittee again and may yet get the duty off of silver and lead ores. By Assnelated Pres. WAslxr;rox, April 3.-Blair intro dueed a bill to regulate the componsa tion of the laborers employed by the gor crnment and fixing the lowest wages at 2 per day. Referred. The vice president announced that he expected to be absent several days next week. Ingalis was chosen president pro tent pore and took the oath of office and as sumed its duties. The Montana con tested election came was then taken up as unfinished business. Gray resumed his arguments in support of the democratic claimants. The burden of his argument was against the throwing out of the 174 votes cast in the precint in Silver Bow county. The vote for the resolution of the majority would be. he said to violate the most acrsed traditions of American history and Amerclan liberty. He protested against putting the odious mark of the baher sin ister on the State of Montana thus early in her career. The matter then went over until Mon -A_. ills were passed apmlroprlating $100, 000 for a public building at Leadville, Colorado to reorganize and establish a customs district on Puget sound. Stewart as a question of iwrsonal priv liege sald he had been credited by news palger with having introduced yesterday a bill to regulte the manufacture and sale of lager beer. He had introduced no such bill alnd knew nothin about it. (Note: The bill was introduced by Sena tor Wolcott.l The house bill to amend the census law br provlding for the enumeration of the Chlnese population was read, with seinate amendments. Hale said there was a demand from the Pacific coast that there should he some identifclation of Chinamen here who had the right to remain here as against (China men constantly stealing into the United States. He himself would have been willing to go farther and strontger in thle way of Chinese exclusion than the bill went. The amendments of the comnnmit tee were all in the direction of nmaking the hill less severe and he feared the committee had gone too far inl that di ,.n|.dt. retitdon. Eustis thought it stranlge that the cen sus committee should report tihe bill which had nothing to do with the census, but a good deal to with municipal police and international obligatiolns. The bill irovided penal statutes with reference to a class of people residing inl the 'nited States by reason of treaty rights. It gave good camie of com plaint to a foreign government, conskered within the family of nations, a civilized government with which the gov ernment of the United States had solemn ties and a nation with whicl the American people had important and valuable comn meeial relaton. If the question of ('hinese exclusion war to he re-opened it should he done in the proper way and not under the sham and mockery of taking the census. The census committee had bowed down to the house in reporting what be regarded as the most outrageous bill ever sent to the senate. The trade wlthChina was exceedingly important anid the United States were hmoqht in comr peitition with Germany and England for that trade. The Chinese government was engaged in vast public works, for the con tracts for which there was mluch comli. tition, and there was nto necessity why that government and pI.l)le1sho5ull w" in sulted, affronted and degradled Iy such a measure. Hale stated that the ,,bject of the hill was to carry out the 4.ttled policy of the government as shown bIy it legislationl in eaclading Chinese lalsrers fron.l comuing into the United States hereafter. That was its only object. tiless some such bill was passed hundrel- and tlhousands SChiume mw.d acom hom month to moth and from year to vear as tb were no eoj The of athe hi wars mar awt n went over until Marn I wel ýenotice of several amend ms.as wb he would orer to the bil Tbe exeoutive seemaon then adjourned. CLARKWUN INTERVIEWID. What .e as to s.r Abeot IPreitbltlet Iowa. WAsHINUrox, April 3.-In an interview today regarding the anti-prohibition movement in Iowa, First Assistant Poet master General Clarkson said the prohi bition law has had seven years' trial, and while it had proved an admirable law for agricultural counties and smaller towns, hba failed to And public opinion to en foree it in the larger cities and in coun ties on the Mississippi river, which are largel settled by people of Eu ropean birth. It is an open fact that it cannot be enforced in such localities without state constabulary which the temper of the people would never permit. The republican party has never been united in support of the meas mre. As many as fifty or sixty thousand republicans were opposed to it. hut have one alon with the part willing to see the exl ment tried. Now that it has been t seven years and failed in part, they insist that the law he amended to give prohibition to 80 per cent. of Iowa where public opinion favors and enforces it, but that some other method of regu lating and repressing the traiM e bgiven to the JD per cent. of the state where ex perience shows it never can be enforced. The demand of yesterday's convention for a silent platform will not he success ful. It is not the temper of Iowa people to be silent on any question. The pre ent legislature should, in my udg ment. modify the law as de manded by experience or actual trial. The suggestion for another vote on a constitutional amendment does not meet the question. Seven years experi ment should he followed by action. Be sides, I do not believe it right to vote any thing of an experimental character into the constitution. All good people wish to reeach such legislation as will he nearest the right and most repressive of the liquor traffic, and If possible, destructive of it; but common mnse must regulate in this as in all other affairs of men. VICTORIA TO RIEION. T.e Aged gUaee Will Permit the Primne of Wales to Moueant the Throee. LowDo.. April 3.-It is now stated on the highest official authority as well as heing a matter of conunen gosip in Ipar liament and at the clubs that the queen is seriously considering the step of abdliu cating the British throne. The recent re ception of the Prince of Wales by tlhe German emperor has had a great effect on the aged queen, who is now convinced that her son ought to have a chance to play the leading role in England during the rest of her life, which is certain to be short. The queen's bodily infirmity is in renasing, and she is so rapidly running to flesh that massage is necessary to assist her bhrathing. (One strong objection the queen has to abdicating is the con lngency of being called c-queen. nhe wishes to assume the title of queen resient for the rest of her life. A speclal h)il will be introduced in parlia ment, when she is willing to resign the actual throne, and the Prince of Wales will be crowned king of England and em ieror of India. The queen's daily food consists of tea and toast in the morning, a chop, stale bread and cocoa at noon; at 5 in the afternoon she has tea and craek. ers. Her dinner consists of clear soup, underdone beef, chicken salad and claret. She is not allowed any beer, champagne or vegetables. She peases a quiet evening with the Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenbrg, playing the piano, si tngi, and playing cribbage. Poor Bat. tenher finds this dreadfully dull, and at ter the queen has retirtd for the night, he gyes out and smokes his pile by the lonely sea or drinks beer at the bar. Mace. at WasshlSta.
